ANDY MURRAY insisted he should have been allowed to call a halt to his French Open clash with Tomas Berdych after crashing out of the tournament in the fourth round.

An angry Murray was blasted off Suzanne Lenglen Court after failing to get to grips with his opponent’s raw power, going down 6-4 7-5 6-3 in two hours and 16 minutes in what was another rain-affected match that did not finish until 9.34pm local time.

And it was both the fading light and the weather which sparked a succession of furious outbursts from Murray, who was unhappy with the condition of the court following a 36-minute delay midway through the match.

“It shouldn’t necessarily be down the supervisor to make the call because he’s not the one playing,” said Murray.

“Not every single person’s eyesight is as good as another’s. Maybe just let the players decide if they don’t think they can see, they stop.”
